(I'm starting to bald) - that made her feel better.
When she was in the hospital on one trip, and her surgeon had recommended she go home on hospice (but she didn't hear the doctor say it, so I had to be the one who told her), I tried to hold her hand and tell her that I loved her, and she pulled her hand away and started to cry.
You win some and you lose some; all I know is there is no one formula that always works for every situation.

I questioned the same thing too when I was losing my hair. I guess it's one of those things you can't really help your SO with.. but just kinda be there for them. On this end though, it feels kinda sad knowing you can't be all the best you want to be for your SO and sometimes you'd feel like it's selfish of you to even be with someone.
